Duchess Ning Guo returned to the mansion angrily and asked her subordinates to go to the outer courtyard to invite Ning Guogong back.

Gu Kui was still kneeling in the middle of the hall, motionless, Duchess Ning Guo was angry when she saw it, stretched out her hand and pointed at him and scolded: "Are you dead? You can't even fiddle with an eleven or twelve-year-old female doll, the family has wasted rice and grain to support you for so many years, you can't even do such a trivial thing, what else can you do?"

Gu Kui lowered his eyes and said nothing, his mind was full of Xia Chanyi's sentence "I look down on you", and now like this, there is no need to talk about her, even he looks down on himself.

Seeing his immortal appearance, Duchess Ning Guo was even more angry, picked up the tea bowl used by the Xie family on the table and smashed it on him, "You evil obstacle, why don't you just die, it's better than doing such a thing to shame the family now!"

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Gu Kui's mouth, he did what his grandmother ordered, if he wanted to say that he was ashamed, it should be what his grandmother did to bring shame to the family, not what he did to disgrace the family.

Duchess Ning Guo's heart was burning with evil fire, and seeing that this concubine was even more dull than before, she picked up the feather duster next to the Duobao Pavilion and pumped it on him.

“…… The next slut, who to show this look, I'll make you arrogant...... It's not enough to plague Manman, but also to plague our house......"

The subordinates on the side were so frightened that they stood in the room and didn't dare to breathe.

Where is Madame scolding Gu Kui, she is obviously scolding the young lady of Xia Mansion, and the poor second master is angry with Madame like this.

Seeing that Mrs. is more ruthless than she is, and the beatings are all fatal places, the second master's face has been drawn out of blood, but he can't even hide, he has to meet it, if he doesn't let Mrs. take this breath, the second master will not have a good life in the future.

Gu Zhongyong strode in, and when he saw his wife whipping her son like a shrew, her face sank, "What are you going to do here?"

When Duchess Ning Guo saw Ning Guogong coming in, she stopped and raised her head to look at Gu Zhongyong with teary eyes.

"Grandpa Guo, the people of the Xia family are a group of crazy people......"

Gu Zhongyong's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Duchess Ning Guo sobbed and told the matter again, Gu Zhongyong's eyes flickered when he heard it, and he slapped it on the table, "You idiot! Do you look like a pig's brain? Why don't you discuss with me before doing things? Even Yi'er and Kui'er, you dare to let them get involved, aren't you afraid of ruining the future of these two children?"

The more Gu Zhongyong spoke, the more angry he became, and his eyes fell on Gu Kui, who was still kneeling in the hall, "And you, what your mother asked you to do, you did it indiscriminately, and your brain didn't move, since you saw Miss Xia Er with a dagger, just let her go, what do you have to do against her, if you force her to death, how do you end up?"

The bureau he worked so hard to set up in the court was destroyed by the women in the inner house like this, and he had to clean up the mess for them, thinking of this, he was furious, and kicked Gu Kui hard, directly kicking Gu Kui to the ground.

Suddenly, he saw the blood marks on Gu Kui's face, looked up at Duchess Ning Guo viciously, and said sharply: "Brother Kui was not born by you, you can be so ruthless, he also called you a mother, why are you so vicious?"

Duchess Ning Guo's eyes widened, she just taught a lesson to the disobedient concubine, how could she be vicious? If she was ruthless, this concubine would have gone with that little slut a long time ago, where can she still live well until now!

Duchess Ning Guo wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said sadly: "If he hadn't done such a thing, where would there be such a result, Grandpa Guo said that I was vicious, if I was vicious, I would use his life to compensate Miss Xia Jia, it would be better than them not being so unforgiving." ”

Gu Zhongyong listened to her crying tiredly, his face completely cooled, and the corners of his mouth provoked a touch of ridicule: "Without your orders, he dares to do such a thing?

Duchess Ning Guo's body stiffened, and the tears in her eyes rolled down, "I, I'm not angry that they humiliate Manman like this, I just want to seek justice for Manman, didn't Grandpa Guo agree before? How can something happen to me and push it on my head?"

Gu Zhongyong frowned, the more and more messy he was with the woman, he simply stood up and walked to the study, "Brother Kui come with me," and then turned his head and instructed the maid, "Call the prince to the study." ”

Duchess Ning Guo hurriedly said, "Grandpa Guo, what should I do about this?"

Gu Zhongyong frowned, "You don't have to worry about this, don't do it in private, no matter how bad it is, I'll divorce you!"

Duchess Ning Guo was like a thunderbolt from the sky, freezing her in place, unable to move.

Gu Zhongyong sat on the chair in the study, scolded the two sons fiercely, and then looked at the two sons in distraught, his fingers lightly tapped the Shoushan stone paperweight, the sons are all older, since they have come in, it is regarded as an experience, to see if they have grown over the years.

He was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you two have in mind about this?"

Gu Kui was frightened, his father never asked their opinions when doing things, is this really so tricky?

I heard Gu Yi say slowly: "My son got Miss Xia Si's personal belongings, she will exchange Miss Xia Er's things in the near future, and when the time comes, we will have Miss Xia Er's things in our hands, and Xia Mansion will not let us handle it?"

Gu Zhongyong squinted, he didn't expect that the eldest son would hold such a thing in his hand, although this method was a little disgraceful, but now he can't care about it so much.

And the situation above the court should also change, Xia Shijing, he has never seen the person in his eyes, he has raised the three princes silently for so many years, if it is not discovered by his son in advance, I am afraid that the emperor will not let the three princes return to the palace until the Wei family is cleaned up, and then they will be in a passive situation, and it will be too late to plan.

Now that the emperor intends to support a group of Qingliu, nobles like them, the emperor will suppress them with all his might, and he must take precautions as soon as possible.

He muttered, "You have to take care of this matter, don't have any accidents." ”

Gu Yi nodded, "Father, don't worry." ”

Gu Zhongyong thought for a while and said, "Brother Kui, no matter who asks about today's matter, you can say that you are confused for a while, don't talk about anything else." ”

There was a touch of unnaturalness in Gu Kui's lowered eyes, and he complied.

After Gu Zhongyong finished arranging the affairs of the inner house, he let his two sons go down and called his staff Zhang Chaoyan to come.

Zhang Chaoyan was a person in the Yongyuan period, and he did not participate in the imperial examination after winning the lift, but he was shrewd, and was deeply valued by Gu Zhongyong, and received a staff member in the house.

At this moment, Gu Zhongyong was a little worried, "Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid this matter is a bit tricky. ”

Today's events are too sudden, no one expected Miss Xia Er to have such a determination, otherwise Mrs. would not dare to make such a rash decision, if this matter spreads, the reputation of the Ningguo Mansion will be greatly bad, and the sons of the nobles persecuted the daughters of the court officials in the inner house, such a thing has not happened since the emperor ascended the throne.

The emperor is now going to clean up these meritorious nobles, and he is worried that he can't find a reason, this is not a sleepy pillow, giving the emperor an excellent reason to be famous, but I'm afraid that if it's not good, the Ningguo Mansion will be taken down as a bird.

Zhang Chaoyan listened to today's events, took a sip of tea, and touched his beard, " Grandpa Guo is not in a hurry, this matter still needs to start from the court, Xia Shijing is Shen Yining's subordinate, since we have Shen Yining's handle in our hands, as long as Shen Yining holds Xia Shijing, it is enough to make him anxious, not to mention that now we still have a certificate of the inner house in our hands, as long as the prince can get Miss Xia Er's personal belongings, the shape can be reversed immediately, but it can't be reversed, as long as he hands over the word to Xia Shijing, he is not stupid, and naturally understands what to do to keep his career. ”

Shen Du, the table name Yining, the current Dali Siqing, is the pinnacle of Xia Shijing.

Gu Zhongyong's frowning brows did not stretch, he stood up irritably and paced around the room.

"Mr. doesn't know, this matter is bad for the eldest princess of Changning, she has witnessed this with her own eyes, Miss Xia Er is the niece of Concubine Zhuang, and the queen mother is also a cousin, the queen mother has always liked chaste women, if she enters the palace and tells the queen mother about it, the queen mother will inevitably be angry, and then the queen mother will intervene in this matter, and then put pressure on the emperor, we are in the court no matter how much layout it does, it will be useless. ”

Zhang Chaoyan gently clasped the teacup, went through the matter from his mind, and said in a low voice: "On the side of the eldest princess of Changning, the grandfather of the country will first ask his wife to stabilize, isn't Zhang Ruiqing, the eldest son of the eldest princess of Changning, now in charge of disaster relief in the southeast?" Grandpa Guo can say hello to the household department and give Zhang Ruiqing some convenience, the eldest princess of Changning has received our favor, so she will naturally slow down this matter, and if the prince is there, she needs to get Miss Xia Er's personal belongings as much as possible, and then let the lady enter the palace to make the matter clear to the Queen Mother, Miss Xia Er has a personal relationship with the prince, and she is entangled with the second son......"

Zhang Chaoyan smiled with his eyebrows, and said warmly: "As long as the eldest princess of Changning does not go to the palace to clarify the matter as soon as possible, she will have time to reverse the situation, and when the time comes, she will take Miss Xia Er's shortcomings, and then let the lady go to the palace to explain things clearly, and tell the queen mother that Miss Xia Er is so inconsistent, the queen mother will immediately dislike Miss Xia Er, and the emperor will also blame the Xia family." ”

“…… So although this matter looks powerful, in fact, if it is handled well, it will be a help to us, but on the side of the third prince, we need to go further. ”

Gu Zhongyong nodded and muttered: "Judging from the emperor's recent arrangement, it should be intended to ask the three princes to go to the northwest, I guess the emperor means to cultivate the wings of the three princes to compensate for the suffering of the three princes who have been exiled for so many years." ”

Zhang Chaoyan listened to Ning Guogong's words, and analyzed in a low voice: " According to the current situation, the emperor should have made up his mind to take back the military power of the Wei family, the emperor has withdrawn the military power, and will inevitably hold the military power in his own hands, the three princes have no foreign family, two have no power, they can only rely on the emperor's favor, but it is an excellent candidate, the emperor will probably hand over the military power to the three princes, in this way, it is not a good thing for us, our government and the Wei family are tied too tightly, and the grandfather of the country needs to think of a way to withdraw from the Wei family, otherwise once the Wei family falls, we will also be implicated。 ”

Gu Zhongyong's heart that he had just put down was a little raised, An Beihou has become more and more rude to him over the years, and he has to suppress him in everything, if he hadn't seen that he had gained a lot of benefits from following him over the years, he would have kicked him away a long time ago, where could he still be so arrogant and oppressed on his head.

Gu Zhongyong said: "Today, the eldest princess of Changning said a word before leaving, saying that Brother Kui should go to sharpen and sharpen, I think so, why don't I ask the emperor and let Brother Kui follow the three princes, if the emperor really intends to support the three princes, our Gu family can also get a piece of the pie." ”

Zhang Chaoyan shook his head and said: "This matter is not urgent, and it is not suitable for the grandfather of the country to put it on the table, it is appropriate to let the third prince put it forward, the third prince has a close relationship with the Xia family, if he learns about this, I am afraid he will not stand idly by, presumably the third prince will definitely stand up for the Xia family, Miss Xia's handle is in our hands, not only can handle the Xia Mansion, but also make the third prince scruple, and then let the third prince mention this matter to the third prince, the third prince will naturally not refuse." ”

In this way, even if the emperor wants to deal with the Wei family, the Gu family can pull out, and when the time comes, the Wei family will be stripped of their military power, and they will be a cat with their claws plucked, and they will no longer be majestic, and the Gu family will be able to stand out.

Gu Zhongyong's eyes lit up, and he smiled at Zhang Chaoyan and said, "Mr. Vision." ”

Busy and asked someone to make good Longjing tea for him, and the two discussed until dinner time before stopping.

Gu Zhongyong picked up the pen and wrote several posts and sent them out, and his heart settled down slightly.

As soon as Xia Chanyi returned to Xia Mansion, she was called over by the old lady, and she didn't even have time to change her clothes.

When Mrs. Xia saw her granddaughter's bloodstained appearance, she was so shocked that she almost turned her back on her breath, and hugged her tears and fell, "You stupid child, if something happens to you, how can your grandmother ......live?"

Chanyi leaned on the arms of Mrs. Xia and shook the old lady's arm gently, "Grandmother, I am measured, I picked a place that is not strong and stabbed, looking at the wound is dangerous, in fact, it doesn't matter, don't worry, besides, if I don't break the boat like this, I'm afraid that our family will be pinched by the Ningguo Mansion and hold on to the wrong place, I would rather die than marry such a vicious person." ”

Mrs. Xia understood in her heart, but when she saw that her granddaughter, who had been raised in the palm of her hand since she was a child, was getting more and more injured every time, her heart hurt as if she was cutting with a knife, and she shouted straight in her mouth: "In the future, we won't go out, just in the house, see which of them dares to hurt you, grandmother can't spare them even if she fights for her life!"

Chanyi's heart warmed, and she comforted the old lady and said: "Grandmother, don't worry, the eldest princess of Changning is also here today, and the Ningguo Mansion can't be good this time, just wait and see." ”
